Arunachala's energy and sacredness are experienced by those who are ready for a deeper realization. It's a hidden gem for seekers of truth 🙏

my wife and I climbed this mountain barefoot and spent the night there meditating. walking off the mountain with no shoes is difficult, the rocks become very hot in the sun. But we were called and felt it was important to do. it has meaning for me now for the rest of my life.

Also, even from a secular point of view, Arunachala is special, as it is said to be geologically the oldest mountain, or among the oldest, in the world, at around 3 billion years (compared to the Himalayas at well under 100 million years). A little story here on Arunachala: The powerful attraction of that place was proved to me personally before I ever knew of its glorious reputation (or its Ramana connection). In the late 1970s, in Joseph Campbell’s The Mythic Image, on page 92, I saw a photo of the temple at Tiruvannamali which impressed me greatly. In the late 1980s, a friend visiting me in Bangkok brought me the book "Ways to Shiva: life and ritual in Hindu India". On page 54 was a photo of the same temple, obviously taken from nearly the same spot on a hill behind the temple complex. I wanted to BE there so bad, that my first trip to India (in 1993) was planned around going to the December music festival in Madras, and then working my way to several of those Chola-era temples in Tamil Nadu, with the intention of going to that particular town and climbing up to the exact spot those two photos were taken from (all the while thinking more of the view I wanted to see, than of the hill itself). Traveling solo, on the Mahabalipuram-Tiruvannamalai bus, I happened to catch my first brief glimpse of that mountain behind the temple, straight ahead, still 10 or 15 miles in the distance. An incredible thrill ran through my body. I mean like a whole-body euphoria. Totally unexpected and unexplained. I kept looking for it again each time the bus rounded a corner in that somewhat forested area. So really, that’s the whole story, right there. Later on that day I left my hotel and hiked up the hill to that spot (getting the view I had been looking forward to), and then walking further up along the trail I stopped and sat out on a rock outcropping overlooking the town, and experienced very clearly the total completion of My Search, My Personal Story. Everything was perfectly resolved in timelessness. Nothing left to do. You could say that I had made it, finally, to that place I always wanted to be, the place even that I had come from. I never did visit “the Ashram”, which I later learned was just a short ways further, over the saddle. In the following weeks I started reading and appreciating Ramana Maharshi, and from books learned what I had already found out myself about the mountain: wonderfully and mysteriously attractive.

I am drawn to this mountain ⛰️

Again thank you Jason. The tourism department should hire you. :-) ❤

I'm 72, but my Heart wishes to visit Arunachala and Ramana Ashram. I sing the song Arunachala Shiva as we are all connected by the substratum of Life. It's Love brings tears of joy. ❤❤❤ God bless you Jason and the teachings you share. ❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤

I've never had a passport but I'm going to apply for one. I was severely epileptic up until about 7 years ago and so I never had any intention of traveling because of that, now that issue is completely resolved and I have no fear of it because it's gone for so many years so I'm going to apply for a passport when I get some extra money. Not sure where I want to go but it's got to be some place like this so I can cultivate. "The Jj"

Very great presentation Jason. Shanti

I was born and raised in this town and never payed much attention to the details behaving the history of the mountain . You did a great explanation of the mountain and the great history behind it. Soon I will be having a tattoo of the mountain.

Thank you !!!🌸🙏. Thank you for sharing with us, I am thousands of miles away from Arunachala but …… perception of time and space is relative, and connecting with the energy that is so present there …….is possible. Om namo Shiva ya ❣️🙏❣️

❤ Namaste 🙏 Jason. Have always been fascinated by the story of Arunachala ever since I read the booklet ‘Who am I’ , and specially after seeing the documentary ‘Jnani, The Silent Sage of Arunachala’ a few years ago. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

OM Arunachala OM The years are ticking by. Don’t know if I will ever see that Mountain. But, just hearing about it is so powerful, holding your heart with a sweet stillness like no other❣️❣️❣️❤️‍🔥☮️ Thank you Jason for sharing this with us 😂

Thank you 🙏

Wow, I am going tomorrow to Arunachala. Thanks to You Jason. My Aunt always went here, she took me once in 2012, but I was just 19. But now I feel ready, your Video Final Truth made inspired me to face this Spiritual Journey which was always very anxiety driven for me. One day we will meet Jason. I am adapting your name as my stage name for my love of the Filmmaking and Acting.

Thank you Jason true son of Arunachala. Arunachala no doubt is a spritual center people come there will definitely feel his presence as i have. Thank you for the video. ஓம் நம சிவாய 🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐

Nice to see this video during a visit to Thiruvannamalai....😊

India is sooooo big I’ve been in India for two months and haven’t even left my little state of Goa.

I came cross your ramana maharshi video yesterday .. i would love to visit the city he was born in this lifetime .

Very interesting and informative!! Thank you!! ✌❤🔥

So cool! Yes, mountains and rock formations most definitely have energy. They are both grounding and inspiring at the same time. I’d love to see/feel Arnuachala but will do so vicariously with the cliffs and river in my own back yard. Thank you dear Jason. 👍☯

Ja es ist wahr, die ist ein wundervoller, sehr heiliger und heilen der Ort ich habe Benares,, Putthaparti, Puri Goa oft besucht. Die Kraft der Stille, Ramana Präsenz sind sehr intensiv herzerwärmend, das umrunden und das begehen des Berges, sowie die Pujas des Tiruvanamai Tempel sind kaum zu beschreiben. Alexander🙏❤️🐘

Another great video! Thanks ❤

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Jason.. keep up the great work. God bless.

न निरोधो न चोत्पत्तिर्न बद्धो न च साधकः । न मुमुक्षुर्न वै मुक्त इत्येषा परमार्थता ॥ ३२ ॥ na nirodho na cotpattirna baddho na ca sādhakaḥ | na mumukṣurna vai mukta ityeṣā paramārthatā || 32 || 32. There is no dissolution, no birth, none in bondage, none aspiring for wisdom, no seeker of liberation and none liberated. This is the absolute truth.

Thank you very useful

I'm grateful for this video, but I don't want to spoil the perfect 777 "likes" that were here when I came. 🙏🏼❤

Thank you for this🙏🏻 where to stay when you go? I’ve never been to India but am deeply close to Anandamayi Ma and Ramana and would love to plan a trip here

❤

Ramana said that many sages are entombed within the caves of this mountain, contributing to it's spiritual power.

Thanks so much......Awesome video

Thank you

I like your style. It helps me see better in a very easy going way. I watch a lot of your teachings and enjoy the conversations with your friend.

Thank you for inspiring me to make this pilgrimage to Arunachala and circumambulate to dissolve my ego🙏

Truth

Thank you :)

This is a really great presentation of history, religion, and mythology all together. And your earnestness shines through in it. This is actually inspiring me to take a closer look at a site venerated by the Comanche as a Sacred Mountain here in Texas.

He needs lot of exposure , many people does not k is about him

Thank you, brother 🙏 If you remember me, I'm the one who recognized you in Bhagavan’s Ashram Tiruvannamalai ♥️

Fascinating, thanks for sharing Jason. Could you explain the meanings of the trident amd drums please? I've been seeing the fleur de lis and lilies alot lately, and was wondering how the symbolism connects. 🏞️🔱🥁⚜️💕😊👋

Hackers 🇨🇭👍 very Fine for His Ashram 🎉💰💰💰🇨🇭

my favorite place at Tiru except for Arunachala itself was the ashram of Amma Siva Sakthi... perfect energy in total silence there...

Do you think this is a case of extreme fung shwey like where you arrange furniture but like the earth did it. The energy of places is noticeably

🙏🙏

Jason have you ever spoken on your personal spiritual teachers? I’m very curious! 🙏🏾❤️🔥

Jason. With all things you learnt in years. If you didn't realize that the religion called Hinduism, or Santana Dharma is in fact is a brahminic religion and Varna practices. Saivism, Vaishnavism, shaktham, ganapathyam, kaumaaram etc are all individual religions should not be brought under the unbrella in the name of Hinduism, making them sub sect to Brahminism. Call a spade a spade.

I can accept that two thousand years ago people would worship a mountain because they did not know better but amazes me that this keeps on going today. You can assign magical power to any object, if you get people to believe it then you get a religion. Monks are overrated. For thousands of years, we have had people that dedicated their life to meditate, become enlightened, serve a higher purpose, reach Nirvana, become one with the universe, etc. Only a few of them contributed to the betterment of society by contributing to the advancement of the sciences. Monks, have just been able to slow their heart rate, relax, meditate, have mental trip, and disengage from society. If all of us were to become monks, society would collapse. Being a monk is not a positive contribution to society, they are a drain and elevating then to high status is a disservice to a functioning society. There are positives in learning/practicing mindfulness and meditation but dedicating a life to is a waste. We need less monks and more thinkers and doers.
